Elsa's Inn is a lovey spot for quiet scenic stays - the bed and pillows were lush and the rooms are furnished with beautiful antiques. Staff are super friendly and helpful, they went out of their way to assit me with a small issue. I will return whenever I am in the area.

We stayed for 5 days at Elsa's Inn. If you drive its a ways from Acadia NP, but so close to the one side of the park that no one really ever goes to, Schoodic, its so worth being in Peospect Harbor. It's beautiful. Gail and the family are very nice and helpful. Breakfast was delicious! They allow pets (yellow lab), which was awesome.

The place was suppose to be 3 miles travel to Bar Harbor. It was 3 miles as the crow flies.. But, there is a ferry to Bar Harbor. To drive to Bar Harbor-its 1 hour 30 minutes. So 3 hours round trip. The Bars and attractions are at Bar Harbor. If you want Quiet. No attractions this is your place.

The outside looked very unkept. Our room had no blinds on the windows which was unusual at night and let the sunrise shine through at 5:30 am.

Absolutely wonderful!! A peaceful spot along the water. I could have sat on the porch the entire stay! Breakfast was delicious! Highly recommend! PS- the info on Expedia about needing to be there by 3 pm was inaccurate! They were very accommodating!

Look no further! This is the first inn I have ever stayed at! The host is extremely kind and is willing to give you all the good tips and tricks to the area. My boyfriend and I stayed one night there and did a good amount of exploring in the time we had! We ate at Ben&Me's (fabulous hot dogs and blueberry ice cream) which was recommended by our hostess! In the morning, I woke and watched the sunrise from the window facing the harbor of our room and it was just beautiful. We ate breakfast there before leaving the road for a long drive back to Upstate NY (breakfast was 2 fluffy blueberry pancakes with whip cream and blueberries on top) and they were just fabulous. We will absolutely be back and are so grateful to have had such a lovely experience!
